The only reason why anyone under the age of 70 would buy a full size revolver is for hunting or long range target shooting. What exactly does Henry expect people to do with these guns? Play dress up?
No optics rail, no adjustable sights

The button on the front of the trigger guard is for full auto.

This gun is something I would buy
As your second gun?
Second in what way?
you mean my secondary in addition to a main piece, sure.
If you mean the second gun I've ever bought. Then no, it would be my ninth.
Ooooh your ninth shiny piece of useless fantasy shit to shoot a chipmunk with.
Yes, I shoot for fun
>tries to act like an anon is "Barely a step above nogunz" as some kind of weird flex
>gets dunked on because anon has many guns
>tries to cry about anon having too many guns when just one post ago he was saying anon had too few
What did he mean by this?
man why the frick are you even on /k/ if you dont like guns
I love guns. I don't like you.
Swear to fricking god a post like should ought to be a permabannable offense.
Some day you'll be able to grow a real beard.
shoot them for fun? not every gun has to be justified by practicality
You can shoot practical guns for fun. You can also buy much better revolvers for $900.
both are true statements. however, that does not invalidate the purchase and enjoyment of something impractical. I shot my M1891 argie today, had fun
>No optics
>No rail
>No adjustable sights
I don't need any of those things on a carry gun
If you're carrying a full size revolver then you must be 22 or something. You think you're gonna be revolver ocelot.
I carry a full-size revolver under my jacket in winter, yeah
Not Revolver Ocelot though, he only uses single-actions, I like double-actions
Cool, you're like me from 10 years ago.
Yes, I do. I wear the gloves, too. What are you gonna do, pussy? My wiener is huge.
>Hey, Sean Hannity here, and I want to tell you about the great guns from Henry Repeating Arms, that's right, their new .357 revolver is something you know you'll love, with quality and craftsmanship made right here in New Jersey. Get one for yourself or mulatto grandchildren today, available from your favorite licensed firearms dealer
the barrel says its made at riced.com lake wisconson, I know henry makes the .22s in NJ, but I think they make the centerfires in wisconson
It doesn't need a rail but for a full size revolver I sort of expect and demand adjustable sights based on similar offerings at that price. If the fit and finish is really good it might still be worth because smith and ruger have been slacking for a while.
Fricking Glock and every other pistol comes optics ready. A full size revolver with no way to attach RD is a joke.
And if they did a homosexual like you would whine it ruins the aesthetic. Why should they cater to a market that's not interested in revolvers at all?
Because we are interested. We're interested in revolvers that are good at filling the only niche they have left, which is long range precision and energy retention. Only teenagers and the elderly want a 4" 357 that doesn't even have adjustable sights.
Then pony up and buy a Korth or one of the new Taurus offerings if price is a factor, optics have been mounted on revolvers for quite some time. There's no need to be a prick to those who enjoy the classic look of a stock revolver.
>muh heckin opric!! How else am i supposed to hit a chudcel if i cant use a optic!!!
I know he's making the meme face but I like to believe after this photo was taken he just took a massive bite out of that fish. The thought of eating a raw fish like an apple is incredibly humorous to me
>nasty little hobbitses
Why would I buy a revolver in the year 2023 that has no way to attach modern optics? What conceivable point could there be to that? I expect a revolver to be (slightly) easier to shoot accurately than a pistol. That's all it's good for. If I can shoot my G17 MOS or G40 MOS better because it supports modern optics, what is the point of the revolver?
>so soicucked and a massive Black person homosexual he doesnt get why only homosexuals need optics on a pistol
Kys, unironically fricking have a nice day, you are beyond hope, a genetic dead end. You are everything wrong with the world. May you burn in hell forever. Eat shit
I don't need optics on a pistol. I prefer them. Therefore I won't buy a weapon that doesn't support them when it's only relevance is to achieve a higher standard of accuracy. That would be senseless.
Would you buy a bolt action rifle that wasn't at least drilled for a scope base? Of course not. It's the same thing.
Bolt action rifles and pistols are not even close to the same thing
cowboy action shooting is going to LOVE this, and that's a big enough market to cater a small run to. there are also a lot of rich gun-buying boomers, so it makes sense to cater to that audience. while young folks either aren't buying guns or are buying basic b***h/practical shit, boomers largely buy what they want.
lastly: it's henry. none of their guns are truly, honestly practical in the modern day. yet, they're obviously turning enough of a profit to stay in business. they know their business model better than we do.
What are CAS competitors going to do with a 1930s style DA?
it's late cowboy but still fits the aesthetic. not everything has to be a SAA right?
>single action shooting society
>not everything has to be single action, right?
if you can get away with an aimbot in a cod lobby you can get away with a double action in a cowboy shooting event
No, cowboy action shooting has rules. Just because a gun looks old does not mean it can qualify for competition.
yeah tbh this
henry wasn’t even putting a side gate on their guns until recently and they still sold like hot cakes
there’s a market for things like this and they have it cornered
why do you think ruger bought marlin? there’s enough henry market share to capture that buying and reviving a dead name is worth the investment
OP so poor they can't imagine people buying guns simply for the fun of it.
I outgrew that phase. Well, maybe not really, but I don't buy useless shit like this anymore.
i like the late 19th century look of this gun but the trench rear sight is just stupid
I shit on Henry but I do own one of their lever action .22s and while it's not a total piece of shit, it does have a pot metal receiver, plastic sights, and the wood is similar to what you might find in an RV
>the wood is similar to what you might find in an RV
I’m considering a Henry 45-70 lever gun with the color case hardened steel and walnut stock. Is this a recurring theme for Henry?
>I'm considering a $900 glorified slug gun that looks like a B-movie prop
I’ve pissed away money on worse things. My vault is full and I’m looking for excises to get another. I don’t have a lever gun and the historical factor appeals to me on a range larp giggle factor.
Why don't you buy ammo instead and actually develop some skill? If you haven't settled on a platform and are still "trying" stuff then you're still a novice shooter. I promise you that a lever action won't solve a single problem you have.
Or, maybe, some people want to try new things and be the guy that practiced a million kicks once than one kick a million times
Yeah, because you have no interest in developing any real proficiency at anything. You're an undisciplined loser.
Not that anon, but /k/ seems like an odd place to throw this tantrum. It’s like going to PrepHole and b***hing about people liking different cars.
To be fair /k/ seems like exactly where I’d expect to run into this kind of autism..
Touché. We’ll played.
If you like impractical things, you will get made fun of. Does this surprise you?
Surprised? Nah. It really is similar to the PrepHole consensus dynamic, where if you like anything but a Toyota Camry then you are silly and like impractical things and should be subject to ridicule. Thinking about rebuilding a ‘70 Superbird? That’s so impractical for a daily commute and bad on gas and modern cars are superior anyway, etc.
That's the conclusion you will arrive at after you waste time and money rebuilding a '70 superbird. You're supposed to get this stuff out of your system when you're young.
>actually develop some skill
>still a novice shoot
Former 0302 Marine infantry officer and Wpns Co CO. Used just about everything in the battalion arsenal. Lever guns weren’t in my inventory and I’d like to have one. I don’t plan on a Henry 45-70 being my go-to platform. Not really looking to /k/ for training advice. Just want to solicit opinions on Henry rifles.
> I'm a real operator who has mastered every weapon in existence. Except for useless rainbow trajectory 1800s boolit that weighs as much as shotgun ammo!
henry how am i supposed to mount a light on this????
I think it's kinda ugly, but stfu, gun-non-appreciator. Revolvers are sick.
>This is one where if I get a loner to review I'm going to end up buying it
wink wink
Anybody who learned to shoot a handgun before 2013 should know how little rails, optics, and even adjustable sights really matter. I'm not trying to be a dick, but you probably don't understand just how quickly handguns and the popular perception of their use has changed over the last 10 years. Almost nobody before 2012 had a WML on their pistol, be it a carry or home defense gun. Handgun optics outside of competition (or a dedicated long-range handgun) practically didn't exist. The revolver was still a highly recommended carry option throughout the 2000s until guns like the Shield hit the market. In January of 2013, I bought a 4" Model 10, it has been one of my main carry guns since, and I have never felt under-equipped with it.
I don't really care to purchase one of these new Henry revolvers, but you have to understand that there are plenty of people out there who are used to shooting box-stock handguns and will leave it that way. I know it's a different market today with the pistol being just half of the purchase before a light, aftermarket trigger, optic, cowitnessed sights, extended mag and slide releases, and TiN coatings, but all that shit seems silly to people who owned guns 10+ years ago.
Preach it brother
>Blah blah blah I'm too cheap to try pistol optics
> Play dress up?
Yes
Also bet you’ll cry when they ban tacticool but spare cowboy guns
>6 shots of 357
Lemme guess, you need more?
Yeah, I need 8
That underlug is fricking atrocious
>8 TIMES
I can tell by the cylinder dipshit
>not 44
ngmi
We all do, my brother. We all do.
I like it and i may get one (unlike the vax which i havent and will never get) and there is nothing yo u can do about it
>doesn't jam
>works forever
>fun as frick to shoot
>aesthetic as frick
>peak reloading
What's not to like OP you fricking homosexual?
It jams every six rounds moron.
I mean, I bought my super blackhawk as a platform to learn reloading on and shoot stupid hot ammo.
But yes, revolvers are fun, and there's a particular segment of the market that has wheelgun autism. And .357 is a pretty good caliber , all things considered. If I wasn't totally broke at the moment, I would get one too.
At least with the Blackhawk you can get a weighand optics rail.
What if I want to shoot the big booolit
Complete with a built in barrel weakness. Seriously, why do you need an ejector like that when you have a thumb operated cylinder lock?
>rails
those are for trains
>adjustable sights
well look at you Mr. high trim buick, must be nice sucking all that union dick
> optics on a pistol
what're you? some sort of commie spaceman?
sent to you by the boomer caveman part of my brain from some idiot born in 1995
but seriously this thing looks worse than the dogshit beaver toothed milling marks on all of the RIA revolvers that i've seen, this has aesthetics that a gaudy middle easterner would buy, and It's disappointing they thought this was good for a production run at the price they want.
It's an 1850s style homage with some interesting design queues nobody else has tried since. Just a target gun for guys who aren't tickled by the new Python, Model 27 Classic, Ruger Blackhawk, etc. Not every gun has to have a defined tactical purpose or be on the cutting edge of practicality and lethality. Some people don't give a frick about that shit they just want a cool gun that people ask them about.
> Some people don't know anything about guns and have money
> It's... it's cool. It's got the spinny thing like from those cowboy movies
shut up homosexual nobody is impressed by your reverse fuddism, you are fricking cringe
I've owned over 80 firearms and not a single one was "cool". Back when I was into revolvers (10+ year ago) I wanted a reliable wilderness survival/bugout weapon that was light, easy to carry, very accurate for it's size, and versatile in it's performance. I didn't give a shit if it was "cool". I wouldn't associate with people who think that way.
Sounds pretty boring, you sound like a boring person so it's not unexpected.
>I didn't give a shit if it was "cool". I wouldn't associate with people who think that way.
This might not be the place for you, anon. That describes most of this board.
>It's an 1850s style homage
lol, more like 1970s blacksploitation style homage
sights are adjustable for elevation
>What exactly does Henry expect people to do with these guns? Play dress up?
what do you think people do with AR-15s?
Don't know. Never had one and never will unless I take one off of a dead body. I don't have any use for weapons that aren't concealable.
you sound like a real dry c**t
>No optics rail
>no adjustable sights
Only soul
ITT /k/ once again proves it is the easiest board to bait
Guy who’s larping as an underage b& larping as a boomer who’s larping as “muh modern spartan i don’t need anything impractical and you don’t either” stick in the mud, i genuinely salute you for getting so many (you)s lmfao
>bait
The unfortunate reality is that a lot of people actually unironically think that way. See that picture from Lucas Botkin that has been going around for years now about how owning a varied gun collection that you enjoy is a waste and you should be focusing on tricking out a handgun and an AR, and getting NODs.
That twink been on my mind fr fr
But what if I really just wan to shoot the biig boooolit?
>company fully dedicated to providing out of date firearms and filling that niche
>wtf why did they not make this gun to fit modern weapon fads
>no ejector rod shroud
okay, cool
>blued
nice, nice
>moronic cutout in barrel for ejector
>ugly ass ejector rod
>brown plastic looking grips
>interchangeable backstrap with screwhole pressed into your hand
>plastic cylinder release
what the frick, seriously. they should have ripped off a detective special and called it a day
